The 1992-1999 excavations of TEMP (Thracian Expedition for Tumular Investigations), directed by PhD. Georgi Kitov in Kazanlak provoked a series of archaeological sensations. The Valley of the Thracian Rulers was discovered for the science. The number of the impressive under-tumular constructions reached thirteen. It was found out that most of them were built to serve as temples and in the meantime they were utilized to bury inside Thracian rulers over 6 th. - 2nd с. BC. The only two yet not plundered Thracian tombs were found in the Valley during regular archaeological excavations. Hundreds of extraordinary works of the Thracian art made of gold, silver, bronze, clay, glass and stone completed the glass-cases of Iskra Museum of History in Kazanlak, the Institute of Archaeology with Museum near the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and the National Museum of History. Many of them got presented at state exhibitions in Japan, USA, Italy, Finland, etc.
